Look Before You Leap
Too many people dont look upon the path that they tread
Too many sins of the government
Is why our soldier's lay in their graves dead.
Each soldier hailed a hero in death
But their death wasnt necessary
To be without their life breath.
Led by a government who leads their country with greed.
False promises made
Led to their deaths leaving many families in grief.
Why are we fighting
Why do our soldiers ride so freely to war?
What are they thinking theyll gain
Or what they even truly fight for?
Lies are made to our peoples country men of the land
By a deceitful government of cruelty ^ their greedy command.
As they sit back looking on
As our fathers brother's & sons
Fight in this world forlorn.
Think of why you should fight for a government
Who dont ride into battle themselves
Why sgould they sit back in safety
Why should they be freed from ill healths.
Foolishly is the belief that we fight for our lands.
When it's only for the power & greed of our governing lawful demands.
We need to start thinking & using our heads.
Why fight for laws that dont even become as our peoples hearts to death has been led.
Think of your children & how you want them to see
Their world around them & a future with love within their own family.
If we were only to look after our own
Would the world even be fighting
Would we even a war in our world condone.
